KUALA LUMPUR: Mercedes-Maybach has previewed its first electric SUV at the ongoing Munich motor show 2021. Yes, we are talking about the Concept EQS that features several Maybach-specific elements, like the brand's signature two-tone colour scheme and a bespoke cabin with individual rear seats providing 'first-class' accommodation.

After the EQS and EQE sedan, the EQS SUV is Mercedes's third bespoke electric model, offering around 600 km of range. The automaker intends to position the EV on top of the segment that is not yet tried by Maybach's rivals like Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
